I may be wrong, but from what I understand, Perry can't do anything to stop this unless he gets a recommendation from the Board of Pardons and Paroles to do so. I need some Texas legal minds to chime in.
At that point, I don't think Perry should stop it. This POS needs to end his breathing capabilities with a quickness.

Unlike governors in many states, the Texas Governor cannot independently issue a pardon or sentence commutation. In death penalty cases, the Governor can issue one thirty-day reprieve. He or she can also make recommendations to the Board of Pardons and Paroles and can either approve or reject the board's recommendations on pardons or sentence reductions.

The Texas Governor has authority to grant a 15 day reprieve.
He can make a recommendation to the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
He appointed most of the board, so he can have strong influence there.
The Texas governor lost traditional pardon power many years ago after one (I believe Ferguson) got caught selling them.
